Why do you all doubt Paul O\'Neill\'s statement? It doesn\'t seem that contentious to me. I\'m pretty sure I recall the Bush administration making veiled statments about Saddam Hussein even before 9/11. It doesn\'t seem far fetched that they were looking for a way to get him for quite some time.
Instead of calling O\'Neill a liar, you should be saying "so what." After all, Hussein was a known dictator, oppressing his people, developing WMD, blah blah blah...
Of course it doesn\'t explain where our plans are for getting rid of the other dictators on this planet...
